I'd probably need to see it again, but I seem to recall someone touching her on the shoulder along with an extremely loud aural stab, which was the main 'jump' as far as I'm concerned. As you say, the half glimpses and scene with the girl in the road were extremely effective and, though it has been used many times before and since, the scene with the Polaroid flashes was another where the amount of tension and atmosphere skyrocketed.
